This show will air TODAY, Thursday, January 22 - at various times across the country.
Find the LOCAL TIME in YOUR area, and then add YOUR comments to this thread, as the show proceeds.Many of us were in the studio audience yesterday for the taping of this shoow, but we do not (yet) know how badly they chopped it up, if they did. But, thanks to the eagle eye of Matchett-PI, we know that they already have a PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT and some TEASER VIDEO posted on Dr. Phil's website (part 1 of 3):
Obama: Hope vs. RealityThe inauguration party is over. Whats next for this country? Dr. Phil and his esteemed guests discuss their thoughts about the new presidency and what to expect in the next four years.The Party's Over
Ann Coulter
Alan ColmesDr. Phil introduces some political opposites. From the right is controversial TV commentator, Ann Coulter. She is the author of seven books, including, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America. Joining the show from the left is Alan Colmes, one half of TVs Hannity and Colmes, and host of his own show on Fox News Radio.
Im not a political analyst. I dont get into all the ideologies of the two sides, Dr. Phil tells his guests. What Im interested in and the only reason I talk about this is I want to know what this means to the average person. Is Obama equal to these promises hes made, Ann?
I dont know, well see, she says. Since hes been elected, he has been talking a lot more like George Bush than he did during the campaign, and so he may well. And by the way, even though Alan and I disagree about a lot of things, thats why we care about public policies too, for how it affects real people. If Obama raises taxes, for example, as he claimed he was going to do throughout the campaign, that would throw us into the worst its the last thing you want to do in a recession. It would be an economic disaster. And then you know, after hes elected, two weeks later, hes saying, Oh, no, were not going to roll back the Bush tax cut. So if hes playing the Daily Kos kids and the New York Times editorial page for fools, were going to be a lot better off than I thought we were going to be, and that would affect real people.
So, you think what he had was a bunch of campaign rhetoric, but now hes going to pretty much moderate and get back to somewhere
Well, I hope so. That is my hope. Thats our theme: Hope, Ann says.
What do you think? Dr. Phil asks Alan.
Im happy to see Ann come a little over to my side. This is very exciting, he jokes. Look, this is a guy who obviously reacts to changing conditions. The fact that hes not necessarily sticking to what he said ideologically during the campaign, it would be nice to have a president who actually reacts to changing conditions and isnt stuck in some ideological box, like weve had for the last eight years, so I think this is great. This in and of itself is a great change.
The change is hes not trying to win the Primary anymore, Ann retorts...
Oh I thought JIM and ANN were appearing together.
Ack either I got too excited or your Title/Intro misled me.
Ok I may watch in even if Jim is not going to be on.
I have been wanting to see Ann make mincemeat out of the day time tv show circuit.
Well I will make my own history by actually tuning into the Dr. Phil show.
You go Jim!!!
I goofed my post for the Oregon ping.
Dr. Phil with Coulter is going to be on at 3pm on KOIN today Thurs.
I got to excited.
I dont think Jim is one of the guests either not clear on that.
LIVE thread! ANN COULTER on Dr. Phil w/ Jim Robinson/FReepers, popmodal.com, UCLA CRs in the house!From Ann's HILLARIOUS answers to the lightning fast "Queen of the not-so-mean" interview questions posted on TheHill.com:
Who is your best friend in the world?Whoever Ann's hairdresser friend is, he/she is doing a GREAT job!
My hairdresser.
Who does your hair?
My best friend.
From FReeper Syncro's photos of Ann, taken at the post-taping party.
Funny that what Colmes calls an "ideological box" others might call "beliefs" or "guiding principles."
The Left detests Principles above all else.
Oh I thought JIM and ANN were appearing together.LOL! That WAS my plan. :o)Ack either I got too excited or your Title/Intro misled me.
We get a lot more "thread views" that way!Actually we MIGHT see Jim and/or some FReepers in the "audience reaction" shots -- so please WATCH, and see!
And, there was a GREAT "question and answer" segment at the end with Ann talking to the young Republican guy from UCLA in the black and yellow rugby shirt, at the far left of the picture that I posted at #12.I really hope THAT clip made the final cut.
It's ALMOST as good as yours. :o) Would you post YOURS here, for comparison?
Lookin’ good, Jim!

LIVE thread! ANN COULTER on Dr. Phil w/ Jim Robinson/FReepers, popmodal.com, UCLA CRs in the house!And, from our "pre-FReep" thread:
Third page of provided transcript (this MUST be incomplete-right- it doesn’t end this wat and reads way too short):
Right. He is a chameleon that way, and Ill give you another beautiful illustration that affects real people, as you say: his position on guns, Ann says. He has been in favor of a national ban on concealed carry weapons, he has been in favor of the District of Columbia law that bans citizens from having guns, and then when the Supreme Court overturned that ban, he said he agreed with the Supreme Court decision. He said Americans, out of bitterness, cling to God and guns, but he agrees with the Supreme Court decision?
This was the singlemost NAKED LIE of Bam-Bam I picked up whole campaign and I now only read it. I saw a piece on his hypocrisy of 2nd amend and it didn’t even pointedly say this! he was ON A DC LOCAL RADIO OR TV STATION JUST BEFORE OR ON THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE SUPREMES ANNOUNCEMENT ON FOLLOWING MONDAY OVERTURNING THE GUN BAN THERE. HE STATED EXPLICITLY HE WAS FOR THE DC GUN BAN.
NOT 4-5 DAYS LATER HE’S SAYING FOR THE MSM HE WAS FOR THE SUPREMES DECISION. THIS WAS SO FREAKING BLATANT I THOUGHT IT COULDN’T BE LOST ON THE MANY- YET IT WAS!!!
THE MSM SUPPRESSED AND TONS OF CONSERVATIVE MEDIA JUST DIDN’T SHRIEK IT OR PLAIN MISSED IT.
nah, mine much betterLOL! I think so, too!
I just wanted to get SOMEONE ELSE -- besides me! -- posting on this thread. :o)
Third page of provided transcript (this MUST be incomplete-right- it doesnt end this way, and reads way too short)I hope that you are correct.
It seems that we TAPED a lot more than that.
I'm trying to remember everything, but I might need some help from the OTHER FReepers who were there.
What say you? What do YOU remember from yesterday's taping?
Jim Robinson
Syncro
DoughtyOne
doug from upland
Avoiding Sulla
The Spirit of Allegience
It's already been on at 10am on the east coast or did I read that wrong?
If I'd known that I would've gotten Dr. Zoo to change the time zone...dern!
I’m afraid I won’t be much more help than you are on this one. I just don’t remember the exact comments that ended the show.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they did cut some out though.
I’ll be watching this afternoon to see if they portray the program as it was taped, or if they slice and dice to change the emphasis to make Ann look less articulate than she was.
She was pure dynamite yesterday.
Thank you too (again), Mr. Robinson, for what FreeRepublic represents, and can be. I do enjoy the photos of Ann, smiling, with you...
Love to you all.
Jim, I am so jealous.
She is so freakin’ hot. She’s an attractive woman physically, but you add in the fact she can carry a logical argument to its conclusion . . .
who says Republicans can’t be diverse?
I see a couple of redheads, a baldy, a couple of geeks and some pretty college girls.
